Chapter 22 Why is it so hot?
Yan Danchen looked at her little wild horse with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I've already eaten. Sister Chen looks really beautiful in this outfit."
"So I wasn't pretty yesterday?"
Having said the wrong thing, Chen Wenbo quickly tried to salvage the situation, "How could that be? Sister Chen was even more beautiful last night."
"I made you a cup of lemon water, have some."
Chen Wenbo glanced around. "Sister Chen, we're on a film set, there are too many people around."
Yan Danchen rolled her eyes at the handsome young man. "I'm not afraid, so why are you scared?"
"How could that be? I'm just worried about affecting Sister Chen's image."
"Take this and have some. Drinking lemon water after breakfast is good for your health."
In front of everyone, Chen Wenbo didn't dare to drink water from Chang'e's cup. "Sister Chen, I'm most afraid of sour things. I'll just drink water."
"Here's some bottled water for you. I brought some too. Don't drink the water from the film crew; it's not hygienic."
After confirming it was safe, Chen Wenbo took the water. "Sister Chen, tonight..."
"You little rascal, we'll talk about it tonight."
Yan Danchen blushed deeply and turned to leave.
The film crew didn't have much to go, so Chen Wenbo returned to where the extras were sitting, and immediately several passersby gathered around him.
A passerby stepped forward and asked, "Brother, do you know Teacher Yan?"
Chen Wenbo opened a bottle of water and took a sip. He figured if he told these people he wasn't familiar with them, they would probably spread rumors. "Before I came here, I worked odd jobs at the Beijing Film Studio. Teacher Yan is an actress at the Beijing Film Studio."
"Chen Wenbo, you're here."
Why does that name sound so familiar? Everyone turned around and saw that it was the female lead behind them.
"Good morning, Changchang. I'm waiting here for the crew's arrangements."
Shu Chang pulled Chen Wenbo up, "I've been looking for you for ages, come with me."
"Where to?"
"Just come with me."
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. How did this kid get dragged away by the female lead?
……
"Changchang, where are we going? You're the female lead, and so many people are watching. We need to be mindful of the impact."
Chen Wenbo had a slight headache. This girl kept pulling on his arm as they walked, and it wouldn't look good if outsiders saw them.
Shu Chang turned around and looked at her. "Why was your phone off when you got home last night?"
"My phone died, so I charged it overnight."
Many people would believe this reason now, because universal chargers are more convenient than direct chargers at this time.
Shu Chang looked at the handsome man with a puzzled expression. "I sent you a text message, why haven't you replied yet?"
Chen Wenbo forgot about the text message. It was all Liu Dayao's fault for being greedy. He reached into his pocket and removed the battery. "I forgot. My phone hasn't been turned on yet."
"How can you be so careless? Your phone is off. What if someone calls you?"
Shu Chang believed it now. The handsome guy took out his phone, but the battery wasn't even installed.
Chen Wenbo then said, "It's my fault. I would have felt so guilty if I had missed Changchang's call."
Shu Chang pouted unhappily, "You've already missed your chance. I called you last night but your phone was off, and you didn't reply to my text messages either."
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
Chen Wenbo didn't ask what the phone call was about last night. There was no need to ask; it must have something to do with Yan Danchen.
Seeing the handsome young man sincerely apologize to her, Shu Chang prepared to probe indirectly, "I was worried you wouldn't know how to film today. Did you learn from Yan Danchen last night?"
"No, I got back late, how could I bother Teacher Yan again?"
Shu Chang was delighted. "Then I'll teach you. Come to my car."
Chen Wenbo glanced back; it was safe for now. "Changchang, I see the cameras are already on. Aren't you going to get ready?"
"I'll wait for the next game, I'll be fine for now."
"That's really kind of you. I'll repay you properly in a couple of years when I become famous."
"Why two years from now?"
Chen Wenbo smiled and said, "I think I should be able to make a name for myself in two years."
The two got into the car, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Shu Chang took out a thermos and said, "I prepared some lemon water, have some."
Chen Wenbo immediately recognized it as the girl's water cup. How could he use it? She should at least wait until she was a grown woman. He waved the mineral water in his hand and said, "I just bought a bottle of water, so I don't need it."
"What's the point of drinking water? Lemon water is good for your health."
"Changchang, get ready."
Shu Chang's assistant glanced into the car and her heart skipped a beat. How come it was that handsome young man again?
Chen Wenbo felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't let people misunderstand that he had any bad intentions towards the young girl. "Thank you, Teacher Shu. I'll be going now."
Shu Chang watched the handsome guy hurriedly get out of the car and leave, feeling annoyed. Why did Sister Wang have to come now? She almost got to indirectly kiss the handsome guy.
"Yifei is really something. Her own friends don't help her, so she makes me take care of them. It's so annoying."
Seeing that her boss looked unhappy, probably annoyed by that handsome young man from earlier, the assistant asked, "Changchang, what's that young man's relationship with Teacher Liu Yifei? He seems to care about her a lot."
Seeing that Sister Wang's curiosity had all gone to her best friend, Shu Chang breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't ask any more questions. That's their business. Oh well, it's only going to be filmed for one day anyway."
……
In the actors' rest area, passersby were talking amongst themselves.
"I just saw it, that guy got into the female lead's car."
"The two of them definitely have a close relationship; being handsome is definitely an advantage."
"Chang'e is still prettier, Shu Chang is too young."
"What kind of eyes do you have? Shu Chang is so talented, Yan Danchen is just average."
"That kid's back, you guys stop talking."
Chen Wenbo returned to the rest area, where the occasional glances from others made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
A passerby leaned closer and said, "Hey bro, you even know Shu Chang. Looks like you two are pretty close."
That was a difficult question to answer. Chen Wenbo quickly came up with a solution: "I'm familiar with her agent, and our relationship is alright."
No one speculated anymore; if she had a good relationship with her agent, then there was really nothing to say.
Jingle Bell!
Chen Wenbo took out his phone and saw that, to his dismay, Liu Yifei was calling again.
"Hello, Teacher Liu."
These words angered Liu Yifei again. "Chen Wenbo, I'll get angry if you keep talking like that."
"Okay, okay, Yifei, what's wrong with your call? I'm filming on set today, I don't have time during the day."
Why was your phone switched off all night and into this morning?
"I've been using the phone a lot these past few days and forgot to charge it. Last night, after I hung up on you, my phone ran out of battery, so I charged it all night."
Liu Yifei felt superior. "You're so stupid. You could have just prepared two batteries."
"When I came to Hengdian the day before yesterday, I didn't expect to stay for so long, so I forgot to bring a spare."
"Okay, you promised me last night that you'd treat me to dinner tonight."
Chen Wenbo was truly impressed. Inviting someone to dinner was just a common phrase for him, but instead he said, "I only earned 50 yuan today."
Liu Yifei thought for a moment, "30 yuan is enough for me, as for the cost of the hot pot base..."
"Okay, if you're not in a rush to finish work tonight, then please go."
Chen Wenbo interrupted Liu Yifei directly, saying that it was really annoying for her to keep talking about the same hot pot broth for two days in a row.
"It's settled then. I'll call you again tonight."
The group exchanged glances. Who was this Yi Fei that the kid had just mentioned?
Teacher Liu?
Could it be?
Will you treat me to dinner?
The temperature in the extras' rest area rose instantly.
